I remember back when DL was transitioning DFW more and more to DL Connection, there were threads comparing DL's peak at DFW to what it was then (back around 2002 I believe). I haven't seen anyone do that with CVG. What was DL mainline's peak at CVG, and where did they fly?

Just as an aside -- beyond comparing Delta @ CVG now to Delta @ CVG years ago, I think that CVG is far, far safer as a Delta hub than DFW was. Despite Delta's recent draw-down of capacity at CVG, and transitioning of more and more routes to RJs, I don't think they'll be leaving CVG anytime soon because it does serve its purpose within the Delta network very well: it provides a conveniently-located and relatively uncongested hub to link the U.S. northeast with the rest of the country.

From Apr. 99 to Oct. 99 we had 2 MD-88's and 2 732's to CVG from GSO with 3 OH CRJ's mixed in. I don't remember when they went all Connection, but they were definitely the flights you wanted to NRSA on. I know that PVD had several mad dogs at the time as well, the good ole days.

Quoting 3201 (Reply 11):I remember flying through in 1999 and they had huge flags hanging in the atrium of the big new DL terminal of the countries with nonstops from CVG, I think UK, Germany, Belgium, France, and Canada?
